My Tribe by Judi Curtin

At a bookish gathering recently, Sheena Wilkinson talked about the importance of her ‘tribe’, the warm and welcoming group of children’s authors I’m proud to be part of.Sheena’s right of course. Writing can be a lonely business, and hanging out with people who know all about that can be very special. Last weekend, I attended … Continue reading →

World Book Day by Judi Curtin

Posted on March 2, 2017 by Judi Curtin • 6 Comments

Happy World Book Day, everyone! I usually celebrate this special day by curling up in a corner with a book, but this year I can’t do this, as instead I’m launching a book of my own into the world.

Groundhog Day is celebrated in Canada and The United States. Folklore says that if the … Continue reading →

Well actually, I’ve been thinking about one particularly nice present I received in 2016. It’s not the most expensive, or unusual or creative present I’ve ever received,but … Continue reading →

Christmas Traditions by Judi Curtin

Posted on December 2, 2016 by Judi Curtin • Leave a comment

For me, Christmas is all about tradition, when you blindly do things the same old way, just because that’s the way you’ve always done it. (I try hard not to live like that for the rest of the year!) Every family has its own traditions, many of which seem very strange to me. One of … Continue reading →

Don’t think it’s too embarrassing, so here’s the link to my recent appearance on the Swipe Tv Book Club. (So nice to see a children’s book club on TV.) I’m 8.00 minutes in. http://www.rte.ie/player/ie/show/swipe-tv-30003271/10647464/ Continue reading →

Who knew? by Judi Curtin

Posted on November 2, 2016 by Judi Curtin • Leave a comment

I think it’s fair to say that when I started to write (way back in 1999!)I had NO idea what I was letting myself in for. I thought that my new job would be all about spending lonely hours at my desk, wrestling with plot-lines and uncooperative characters. And while there has been plenty of … Continue reading →
